Convert (rounded off to TWO decimal places) the maximum average wind speed to kilometers per hour. (3)

4.1.2 The distance between two vertical gridlines on the map is approximately 205,043 km.

Calculate, using the measured distance, the predicted average speed (in km/h) of the storm from point P to point Q.

You may use the following formula:

Use TABLE 6 and the graph on the ANSWER SHEET to answer the questions that follow.

4.2.1 Determine the missing value N. (2)
